Pitfall Trap
This is where a small hole is dug in the ground and then a small cup is put in to the hole creating sheer sides, then when animals fall into the trap they will not be able to escape and can then be counted and sampled.

Tullgren Funnel
This is a funnel with a light placed at the top and a piece of mesh placed above a cup and another funnel, then when some leaf litter is placed on the mesh any animals will move out of the litter and fall through the mesh when they get warm.

Light Trap
This is where you hang a light above a funnel and then when moths fly up to the light and stop flapping they will fall into the funnel and then into the cup underneath from which they will be unable to escape.
